As we celebrate Small Business Saturday, we’re reminded of the incredible journey that brought Santoni’s to where it is today. For more than 40 years, Santoni’s Marketplace & Catering has been a proud small, family-owned business—rooted deeply in tradition, community, and the simple belief that good food brings people together.
When Santoni’s first opened its doors, it wasn’t just about creating a place to shop. It was about creating a gathering place where neighbors felt like family, where employees were valued, and where the community always came first. Four decades later, that mission is still the heart of everything we do.
But the truth is, Santoni’s would not be here today without you.
Your support—whether through a weekly grocery visit, a catered celebration, a holiday order, or a kind word shared with a friend—has allowed our small family business to grow, evolve, and continue serving the community we love so much. We are deeply grateful to our loyal customers, hardworking team members, supportive family, and wonderful friends who have walked alongside us year after year.
Why Shop Small Matters
Shop Small Saturday is more than a shopping day—it’s a movement. When you support a small business, you’re doing something powerful:
-
You strengthen your community.
Local businesses reinvest in the neighborhood, create jobs, and help shape the culture and character of the places we call home. -
You support real people and real families.
Behind every small business are dreams, sacrifices, and people who truly care about what they do. -
You help keep local traditions alive.
Shops like Santoni’s carry forward the recipes, relationships, and values that have been part of the community for generations. -
You make an impact globally.
Choosing small businesses encourages sustainability, fosters entrepreneurship, and helps preserve the diversity and uniqueness of marketplaces around the world.
A Heartfelt Thank You
As we celebrate 40 years, we want to say thank you for believing in us—for choosing local, for supporting a family business, and for letting us be part of your everyday moments and your biggest celebrations. Your loyalty is the reason Santoni’s continues to thrive, and we are honored to serve such a remarkable community.
This Shop Small Saturday, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating not just Santoni’s, but all the small businesses that make our neighborhoods vibrant, strong, and uniquely ours.
Here’s to community.
Here’s to small business.
And here’s to the next 40 years—together.
